Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

The critical factor in restoration and conservation of urban streams and their catchments is the human population, however the most of studies of urban ecosystems do not present social descriptors as concrete variables o...

Abstract Background Environmental studies often evaluate how exposures influence health outcomes through intermediate biological processes. In practice, researchers are often interested in complex exposure mixtures rathe...

The increasing urgency of environmental sustainability has prompted extensive research into leveraging IS to address ecological challenges. A total of 4087 Scopus-indexed publications (2002–2023) were retrieved for bib...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by the concurrence of different metabolic conditions: obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Its incidence has been increasingly rising over the past decades and has ...

The present study examines the effect of differentiated social studies supported by hypermedia e-modules on the development of sustainable social attitudes among elementary students. A quasi-experimental design with a pr...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental pollutants widely used in industrial applications due to their thermal stability and chemical resistance. However, their persistence in the environ...

IntroductionToday, the rapid acceleration of urbanization has made it necessary to reconsider the balance among energy consumption, environmental sustainability, and quality of life. Buildings, which account for a signif...

The article studies the conceptual basis and the general essential characteristics of public environmental requirements and constraints, focusing on the notion of legal environmental constraints as specific sectoral impe...

Context and background  Rapid urbanisation in African cities is reshaping urban land systems, creating complex environmental trade-offs with direct implications for land policy and spatial regulation. In Windhoek and...

This review aims to critically investigate the swelling behavior of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs), with a focus on identifying key mechanisms of moisture absorption, the influence of fiber–matrix interact...

This paper establishes mixed duopoly game-theoretical models to investigate the economic impacts exerted by privatization in the presence of the environmental pollution. When the residents’ environmental preference is ...

Sustainable infrastructure has emerged as a central pillar in addressing the complex challenges associated with rapid urbanization, population growth, and climate variability. Modern civil engineering practice increasing...

Abstract This study reports the sustainable green synthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) using peel extracts from two avocado cultivars, Persea americana Mill. Hass and Fuerte, and demonstrates the strong in...

Abstract Non-technical summary Efforts to tackle climate change are increasingly delayed not through denial but through subtler arguments that emphasize costs, shift blame, or promote weak solutions. We created a tool to...

The primary study objective is to verify the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for greenhouse gas emissions in Poland at the disaggregated Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS)-3 level, accounting ...

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are an organization supported by an independent community, a voluntary and non-profit association. Their activities involve voicing the community and being a third party between the ...

Abstract The accelerating consumption of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has led to rapid growth in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), which is currently the fastest-growing waste stream worldwid...

Uttarakhand, Himalaya's a state, is having serious environmental problems that are mainly due to urbanization, infrastructure development, and climate change. The systematic review gathers together geospatial studies in ...

Developmental plasticity, the ability to regulate aspects of development in response to environmental cues, is hypothesized to evolve in response to environmental heterogeneity and may facilitate dispersal, novel habitat...

Abstract Architectural education faces increasing pressure to equip future practitioners with the ability to respond to sustainability, cultural continuity, and resource constraints through evidence-based design. Yet, th...

Bismuthoxide-based catalysts gained attention for photocatalytic remediation of environmental pollutants owing to their low cost, feasibility, stability, small, and tunable band gap. In the present work, bismuth molybdat...
